Spain federation chief opposes expanding the World Cup to 64 teams

The president of the Spanish football federation — a key organiser of the 2030 World Cup — has made his position clear: he opposes any further expansion of the tournament to 64 teams. FIFA president Gianni Infantino had not ruled out such a move after introducing the current 48-team format for the 2026 edition. The debate is ongoing, but Spain's stance is firmly against another expansion.
